WASHING TON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.

Speaker Carlisle has big job on
his hands. There is a great deal
more trouble than appears on the
surface. How to arrange the com
mites Is always a perplexing ques-
ton, but in the organization of this
Congress there seems to be more
confusion than usual. The truth is
there has been a good deal of trad
ing going on, aud to deliver all
things, according to the agreement,
is quite difficult task. As sample
of several cases, mention this one;
The President wants Scott, of Penn
sylvania, as Chairman Of the Com
mittee Of Ways and Means. Car
Isle don't like him, and promised
the place TO Mills, of Texas, and
Mills il an arrogant sort of fellow,
and don't want to yield any prestage.
1t is one of the most important com
mittees of the House, and the Chair
man, by virtue of long usage, be
comes a member of the Committee
on Rules, and hence an additional
importance is attached to that posi-
ton. Mr.. Mills says openly that
the place was promised him, and
that he is going to have it or there
will be some lively music. Perry
Belmont, of New York, is booked
for the craftsmanship of Foreign
! Relations, but Tim Campbell and
other New York members are
strongly opposing him. And so in
numerous other instances, and that
is why | say the Speaker has big
! lob on his hands. Mr.. Randall says
the "two wings of the Democratic
party flap together" but they don't
have that appearance just at this
time.
1t is expected that the Senate will
act on the Presidents nominations
on " eduesday, and that all will be
confirmed. Friends of Mr.. Lamar
and Gen. Villas seem very confident,
The National Republican Com
mittee had a glorious session, and
rything betokned harmony and
success for next year. Chicago, as
usual, was lucky III getting the Con
veution. The next question is to
dominate a ticket that will win.
That is of more importance than
any thing else, and the feeling is
universal here among Republicans,
that victory is sure, aud | think the
wiser heads of the Democratic party
SO regard it.
The Senate have completed their
committee list, and every man seems
satisfied with the position assigned
him. The best Of feeling exists
among Republicans in both wings
Of the Capitol, and the disposition
to preserve the present harmony Is
very observable.
There are several Members who
do not draw their salaries until the
close of the session. The majority,
however, draw their pay monthly
know of few who check out
their pay every day regularly, and
are then always hard pushed fol
money. Taken MS All average, in
Guiding salary, mileage and station
ar, allowance, which is often drawn
m money, a Congressman gets SIX
teen dollars per day. That is large
for some members, but there are
, several Congressman whose private
, income is from $500 To 81 600 day
and with them, salary is of the least
consideration.
A Greater contrast Is not possibl,
than that between Senator, Eyarts
of New York, and Beck, OF Ken
lucky. Bcck is >cotrbmm bN
